Re: Cutting Edge Tech Article Featuring our Trucks

Do you have any more information on the trucks? Like what kind of diesels they have in them, and how they got them? The factory didn't offer diesel Suburbans in 1971, so someone had to do an engine swap. It would be interesting to see what they did to accomplish it.

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.

Re: Cutting Edge Tech Article Featuring our Trucks

A friend of mine bought one of the burbs from there about 6 years ago. It had a 350 in it. He was born and raised not far from greenbank and knew a few people that worked there. If I remember right the body was really nice but the frame was bad.
